Halftime Ohio State up 17-9.
This game feels a lot like watching the Arizona-ASU rivalry game last night. An experienced, senior-laden Wildcats team stuck to a gameplan that should've doomed ASU from the get go, a gameplan designed to take exploit ASU's limitations due to injuries to star Sun Devils on offense, particular at QB where the downfield passing game wasn't working.
But because it's a rivalry, and with the backing of home crowd, an outmanned ASU was able to do every last little thing to hang around. Despite statistically dominating the game it took Arizona well into the 4th quarter to pull away.
That's what the Big Game feels like thus far, with us all waiting for a favored Ohio State to break away.
